The gist of the movie is men need to have a different body part in order to be more feminine to understand women. The doctor who screwed up the operation just said, "Oops!" & retired, this may be funny to women but men aren't sitting around thinking this is a funny circumstance. The people who created this 'comedy' sure weren't thinking about all humans.
I'm looking at another comment to this movie & they didn't have 500 characters in Aug 2022, if the change came after that point this was a bad decision. Movies like this aren't worth that many comments, I'll keep talking about nothing........

It's a stupid movie with a stupid premise - but, strangely enough, it works pretty well. The ludicrous story revolves around Frank (played by Andrew McCarthy) who goes into the hospital to donate a kidney to his brother in law, only to have the doctor remove the - um - wrong organ. He then has to fight some pretty funny fights as he tries to convince the hospital to reverse the procedure. Yes - medically the movie is nonsense, but this isn't a medical drama. It's just a stupid comedy that is at times very funny. The conversation between Frank and the doctor who performed the accidental gender re-assignment surgery on him is a comedy gem of misunderstandings and had me in stitches, and there were other scenes in the movie that had me laughing out loud - which doesn't often happen. It features interesting characters who are given interesting names (there seems to be some sort of tribute going on to movies of the 1930's since there were character names taken from at least "The Wizard Of Oz" and "Mutiny On The Bounty.")
Is it a great movie? Will it be considered a classic? I'd say not. It's crude at times and pretty typically National Lampoon material and it has a definite low budget feel to it. Some of the performances are less than outstanding. A masterpiece it is not. But for some mindless entertainment it actually works. (7/10)

This is one uniquely weird flick. I don't want to talk about what happens in the movie. You will find out when you watch it, and you may agree that this flick is frequently both hilarious and God-awful.
